I started out with Nook, then went to Kindle, then Samsung Tablet and then small iPad. 

 

I can get Kindle, Nook and Library books on my ipad with all the apps.  Don't have to convert files. 

 

I was always purchasing an ereader or tablet that was 1-2 years old to save money.  I've found battery wise and easy of use, that I really like the ipad.  


I read on iBooks. I don't want a bunch of apps on my iPads. I also download books from   Several sources. They may not always come in epub format so they have to be converted. No need to knock other ideas.

Re: After Nook, where to go?

Agree with @froggy . I've known several people who were disappointed in using the Kindle Fire as their reader. It's fine for multitasking tablet activities, but not so great as a reader and unnecessary. 

 

I think a stand alone reader is the best option. I'd also go with the Kindle Paperwhite. I think it's one of the best readers out there for ease of use and handling.

I vote for the Kindle Paperweight. Amazon has a new redesigned e-reader for 2021.

It comes in two versions a 8GB or 32GB size.

Another Paper white user here. I have enjoyed reading on mine for years now. I down load books from my public library. It is lightweight and I can read in a dark room or in bright sunlight. I also have a Kindle Fire but I use that as a tablet.

Re: After Nook, where to go?

@insomniac2, I've had different kinds of Kindle ereaders and I love them. I also have a Fire tablet but I prefer reading on my Kindle Oasis. I like that device because it has page turning buttons. I have heard really good things about the Kindle Paperwhite. Regarding the Fire tablet, you can read books from Amazon or get books from your library but are unable to get the Nook app. So, you wouldn't have access to your purchased books that you have on your Nook from Barnes and Noble. The same goes for iBooks which is only available on Apple products. If you get an Apple iPad or an android tablet, you can get the Nook app, Kindle app, Kobo app, and just about any other reading app there is. You can still adjust font, color, and other things. Everyone has their own preference in their reading devices. I LOVE my iPad but LOVE my Kindle Oasis for reading.

I appreciate all those who replied. Now I feel more ready to make my purchase (the Kindle Paperwhite sounds perfect).

 

Thank you again!

That's what I do. It's easy to get your entire library after downloading the Nook app.

Re: After Nook, where to go?

@insomniac2 There is a new Nook Glowlight 4 that just came out.  I got one for my sister and she loves it!  She said the battery like is beyond amazing!  I watched a YouTube video on it and it looks like a winner!  I've decided to get one as well for better ease of reading as opposed to reading on apps.
